The Radeon 7200 and 7000 are replacements for the present Radeon SDR and Radeon VE. I don't know if they are new chips or if the boards have just been renamed to come into line with the 7500 and 8500 series of boards.

I do know the 7000 series means a DirectX 7 board and an 8000 series is a DirectX 8 board.

The RADEON 7000 desktop graphics board, based on the RADEON 7000 chip (previously known as the RADEON VE chip), is a 32MB DDR board retailing for $79.

The RADEON 7200 is a 64MB SDR graphics board, and offers such features as hardware transformation, clipping and lighting (T&L) geometry, CHARISMA ENGINE(TM), and an on-chip hardware DVD decoder. The RADEON 7200 is based on the RADEON 7200 chip (previously known as the RADEON chip). It has an MSRP of (US) $99.

Just a quick note...

A Radeon SDR for $99? Too expensive. You can get KyroII cards with the same memory amount, same image quality, 2x the speed for $20-$30 less.

Yeah, its the Radeon 7500 that looks interesting, and the All-In-Wonder 8500DV looks like its gonna kick ass.
